Dentons Canada LLP is pleased to announce that 22 partners and counsel have joined the firm’s offices in Montreal and Toronto.
“Dentons is recognized for the quality of our service and dedication to our clients’ business needs, here in Canada and around the world,” said Chris Pinnington, Dentons’ Canada Chief Executive Officer. “The combined practice and sector expertise of this highly talented group is perfectly aligned with our Canadian and global strategy. These lawyers will add tremendous value to our clients on a national and international scale.”
“We are delighted to welcome these accomplished lawyers to our global firm,” said Elliott Portnoy, Dentons’ Global Chief Executive Officer. “Our clients will benefit from the experience and insights they each bring to our team, further enhancing our firm’s strength in key areas of expertise and exceptional client service.”
The arriving lawyers are joining key practice areas at Dentons, complementing and building on the strength of the firm’s current groups. To date, 19 lawyers are joining Dentons’ Toronto office:
In Montreal, Terrence Didus (counsel) joins Dentons’ Financial Services group, Ilan Dunsky joins the Infrastructure/PPP group and Michel Poirier (counsel) joins the Real Estate group, in addition to Chantal Sylvestre (Real Estate) and Joel Cabelli (Financial Services), whose arrival was announced earlier this month.
These lawyers come to Dentons Canada from Heenan Blaikie LLP. Dentons is also in discussions with a number of Heenan Blaikie associates. Since Dentons’ global combination became effective last March, Dentons Canada has engaged in a targeted strategic recruitment campaign to grow key practices and further enhance the firm’s client services. Before this announcement, 13 new partners and six new counsel joined Dentons Canada since its creation, including the recently announced arrival of the 20th Prime Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien.
